The Burg Edenserloog stands in the hamlet of the same name, part of the municipality of Werdum in East Frisia. It is the only surviving chieftain's stronghold (Häuptlingsburg) of the Harlingerland region and the oldest preserved secular building in East Frisia. Built around 1460 on the remains of an earlier stone house, it grew into a three-wing residence surrounded by a moat, part of which is still visible along the road. Today visitors can see two notable rooms, including a great hall with a 1737 tiled stove decorated with Delft tiles.
